Aftermarket PowerLocks

[Zhero]

Peeps,

My friends and I always have problems with aftermarket door powerlocks during the rainy season. It's either they get grounded internally or they stuck-up. Is there a good brand out there that you would recommend? Where to buy and how much? :P

Is there a way to prevent those problems?



What's your secret? :mrgreen:

we share the same sentiment din pala with regards to door locks.......it always happened to me before.......pati power windows ko minsan ayaw gumana.....get stuck.....one possible cause is nababasa yung motor ng lock......check mo yung rubber guide sa salamin mo......baka tumatagos ang tubig........try tracing it by dismantling your door sidings.....then pour water to your window (closed) then trace the water flow.......try putting silicon gel sa leak....that shoul do the trick........:D

Neilsen,

For replacements, do you know of a more reliable brand?

thanks!:D

hhhmmm... masubukan nga...

Has anyone tried to make their powerlocks waterproof? Like sealing the plastic seams or the rubber boot at the ends?

How about putting it inside an uninflated balloon or condom with just the wires and moving parts sticking out?

Has anyone done this??

you know what i did? I enclosed those rubber boots with silicon gel.......never put it inside an uninflated balloon.....it will gather moist and may damage your motor......regarding brands......di ko alam kung anong brand ang maganda.....kasi.....binili ko yung doors ng liteace ko with the locks, windows and side mirrors sa auction......all power na siya.....centralized door locks na din pati yung malaking door sa likod......japanese version......:D

neilsen, how much for the doors? saan mo nabili? i've been thinking of that mod for sometime now, info naman diyan pls. btw, i'll have the liteace washovered in december, kaya im interested.

[N3IL53N]

jimbob try going to subic......sa auction ko nabili yun eh......I bid on it for 12,000/set (2 front doors and the rear door).......or kung wala ka nang makita......try buying the side mirrors for the Revo.....pareho lang sila ng sukat........:D

here's a pic of my ride.......

[Jimbob]

kasya ba talaga yung sa revo? yung friend ko sa banawe jdm na side mirrors, 1.5k ang bigay niya sa akin, ok na ba yun? i also bought from him yung liteace na badge sa front (instead of toyota) for Php150. btw, nice ride, clean.

[N3IL53N]

pareho lang yung sa Revo......pero pwede na yung jdm for 1.5k........baka naman may emblem siya (oval) na binebenta? tnx :D

Balik tayo sa powerlocks :P Anymore suggestions??

[roydok]

Naalala ko minsan ng baklasin and door ng car namin for rustproofing may nakalagay na plastic cover between the doorside panel and the internals of the door (power doorlock actuator, power window mechanicals and motor, etc.). Nakadikit daw ito ng aspalto or some adhesive to offer some water resistance to the internal door motors. Try mong pakabit nito. It may help. Goodluck.

roydok,

I still have that in place. I haven't done the procedure neilsen recommended though... baka this weekend. Thanks!:mrgreen:

Do you guys know of a certain brand of powerlocks na ok aside from the OEMs or those that come with surplus doors?? :D

[N3IL53N]

all i know is that sometimes, it comes with car alarms too.........di ko lang sure kung anong brand ang maganda when it comes to power door locks...:D
